Key Responsibilities
- Own the house thesis on platform engineering, PE++ and the agentic enterprise, and keep it ahead of the market.
- Run a quarterly theme calendar that every report, article, webinar, course and video hangs off, and make sure content, events and sales are telling the same story.
- Set the split between net-new thought leadership backed by our own data and rapid-response analysis of what the market is discussing, and decide which topics deserve which.
- Lead the Weave Intelligence analyst practice: research agenda, methodology standards, editorial ownership of the State of Platform Engineering and State of AI & Platform Engineering reports, market guides, and the vendor briefings program.
- Apply and defend our firewall: sponsors buy distribution and association, never conclusions; methodology is published before results; sponsored and syndicated work is always labeled.
- Publish regularly under your own name, and take the analyst chair at our events and at the industry majors we attend.
- Take vendor and enterprise briefings, and turn them into a structured view of the vendor landscape that feeds our reference architecture and our research.
- Lead and develop the content team: a content PM, a narratives and QA lead, a video producer, and through them our brand designers.
- Build relationships with other media houses, analyst firms and independent voices for co-published research, syndication and joint formats.
- Work with our founders on their public positioning, so that the strongest ideas in the company reach the stage and the page.
